The Echo Dot is one of the first Amazon-branded products, a voice-controlled, hands-free device that has a built-in speaker and seemingly its own personality. You can connect the Dot to the Alexa Voice Service to ask Alexa to make calls, play music, send and receive messages, set a reminder, and much more.
Within the Echo Dot’s tiny hardware are actually an array of seven microphones that each serve to pick up your voice easier, with enhanced noise cancellation and beam-forming technology. The second generation of the Echo Dot series, Amazon built it with a more powerful processor and improved wake-word performance.
Ultimately, the Echo Dot is skilled in over 50,000 items, with new skills being added daily. Skills, for Alexa, are like apps, so they enable you to ask the Echo Dot more intricate tasks. Once you say, “Alexa, help me get started with skills,” the Dot will take care of the rest. In minutes, you can even create your own skill for Alexa by using Alexa Skill Blueprints. This is perfect for someone who’s always looking for more control and more capabilities with their electronic devices.
